Melbourne City Centre

Melbourne City Centre
The city centre is a combination of modern high-rise and beautiful historical buildings. Melbourne’s city centre is very well laid out in a grid. Latrobe St borders the north, Flinders St the south, Spring St the east and Spencer St the west. The city centre is filled with amazing eateries, not all of them in obvious locations. The smaller city streets hide some of the best Greek, Italian and other cosmopolitan eateries.
China Town occupies two blocks of the city, starting at the corner of Swanston and Little Bourke streets. The Bourke St Mall sits between Swanston and Elizabeth streets and is one of the main shopping areas. The State Library of Victoria is across Swanston St and St Paul’s Cathedral is on the corner of Swanston and Flinders St, across from the famous Flinders St Station. Parliament House is on Spring St to the east and the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens are on the northern edge.
The world famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, (MCG) lies across Wellington Parade, as does Melbourne Park, home of the Australian Open Tennis Championships.
